This is expected. Some future release of the tools will have version checking
for the X drivers.
The current tools don't have a 1.3 driver so the Nevada provided one is used
which works fine.

This problem was fixed in the version of tools shipped with ESX 3.0.2 and
Workstation 6.0.1.
I upgraded my version of Workstation from 6.0 to 6.0.1 and confirmed now the
selection of
resolution works correctly with the Nevada-provided server.
I am trying to get OpenSolaris (experimental) and OpenSolaris 64-bit
(experimental) added to
the Workstation UI as guest choices in the next release. In the mean time, you
can use
Solaris 10 as the guest choice (as you documented) with no loss of
functionality.
